MY PROJECT LIFE JOURNAL | March 2015 part 2

I shared a few pages from my March 2015 personal PL journal a few days ago (here) and I'm sharing a few more from that same month. 

I like being able to use more girly cards and patterns in this album as it's just for me. 

Here's the first spread:

This next spread is a photo hubby took when he went for an early morning fish. He saw the dappled sunlight coming through trees and wanted to show me. I'm like the full page photo too -- something I don't do very often. 

The RHS page titled heart words is a blog post I wrote about my relationship with my eldest son and how hard it is sometimes to parent a child who pushes you away (read here). It was important to include in my album because it documents where I was at, on this mothering roller coaster.

The heart words title (below) and the "oh yeah, so good" filler card (above) is from my HEART WORDS kit here. 

And with that, I'm a quarter of the way through 2015. The question is whether I continue with 2015 or just start 2016...?

Supplies: Digital journal card from my online store {themakingtable.bigcartel.com), One Little Bird, and Digital Project Life. Stamps from Kellie Stamps and Ali Edwards. 

MY PROJECT LIFE JOURNAL | March 2015 part 1

Has it really been over two months since my last post..!? That was back in November.

November was jam packed with learning new skills, new ideas and knowledge.

I set myself the November Daily Scripting challenge where I scripted every day in November to practice my brush scripting and shared daily on Instagram. Read original post here. 

It was interesting to see the quotes I was drawn to for scripting. Here's a few of my favourites:

  

Also in November, I did the 30-day Low Tox Life course with Alexx Stuart. It was a LIFE CHANGER. I don't say things like that lightly. Here's a taster of what you can expect in the course. Alexx has released this topic for public viewing as she believes it's important for everyone be aware. There were so many gems in the course that I spent most of December going over each of the topics and watching all the interviews again. 

November and December was full to the brim leaving no time for Project Life. Here I am in January once again, and I have still not finished one year's worth of Project Life since I started in 2013.

I'm still plodding along with my personal Project Life Journal. Here's a few pages I did for March 2015.

I put my brush script practice into use for these pages and created the Beautiful Mother card (LHS), and the pink pancakes filler (RHS). 

I did a few variations of the pancakes filler as well:

I hope you've enjoyed a lovely start to 2016! 

PRINTABLE FREEBIES | Handwritten Quote Cards for Project Life

Hiya! Just a quick post today to share a few FREE printables I had promised to those who had mentioned their interest on Instagram.

These filler cards I have handwritten and scanned for use in my Project Life Journal. You can read more here. 

The card on the left is a quote I found that I really love because it is how I feel about my husband. Which is why I included the #iloveyou stamp from Kellie Stamps when I used it in my PL journal (pictured above). Unfortunately, I cannot find the author of the quote for inclusion.

The one on the right are words I wrote myself in a moment where I was letting self comparison impose on my own sense of self worth. We've all done that at some point, right?

Just click on the links below to download the cards.

Please let me know in the comments if you have downloaded the printables. Remember to tag me on Instagram (@themakingtable) if you share something you have created with the freebie cards as I would love to see it!

Happy Crafting everyone! xx

MY PROJECT LIFE JOURNAL | More of January 2015

I had finished the January pages for my personal 2015 album, but I found a few extra bits and pieces I wanted to include.

Here's the first few pages if you want to have a look. 

Because this 6x8 album is for me only, it is becoming more of a personal journal. 

I'm a thinker and often over analyse how I can better handle situations with my boys (primarily my eldest child!), or how I can be organised enough to craft and still get a decent night sleep. Aside from that, I want to also include some of what's been on my mind during the month in my Project Life journal.

So here's the pages I finished last night. There's only one photo, with the rest being screenshots and journalling. 

At first I wasn't sure how well that would work having only one photo, but it all goes back to the realisation I had in January. Stop comparing and I will be a lot happier! So that's how these words about happiness came about for me. It needs to go on my wall because I need to be constantly reminded.

Here's another close up.

Anyone interested in either of the handwritten quotes as a digital freebie? If so, leave me a note in the comments below and I'll see what I can organise!

Enjoy your weekend everyone! xx

PROJECT LIFE | New Release Dragonfly and Favourites Collection

It's been an interesting few weeks where I have been in my own head a little bit too much. 

Lots of thinking...thinking...thinking.

About the future, the past, and making an extra effort to enjoy the every day moments.

It was one of the reasons why I started a mini album for myself. I needed a place to record my thoughts and things about me. 

So here are my January 2015 pages in my personal album. 

Only two pages for this month. Next month might only be one page or one pocket. I'm just going with the flow for this album.

Mr 7 showed me what he wrote on his first day in Grade 2. I love it for so many reasons.

I love reading what my children write -- especially free writing where they write about themselves. It's an amazing insight into their little personalities, what's important to them, and how they are feeling.

The 6x8 Project Life album that I am doing as a personal project is a place to share with the my boys who I am, what's important to me, what I am thinking about or struggling with. And most importantly, what makes me happy.

In my January 2015 pages, I am using cards from my new Dragonfly Collection of digital cards, available here.

I also designed one to use in the boys' individual 12 x 12 albums. I create one 12 x 12 pocket page each month for them, and I wanted journalling cards I could quickly complete and pop into their albums.

Here is the Favourites Collection, also available here.

Here's look at a few of the cards from the above Favourites Collection in use. I combined it with a personalised stamp from Kellie Stamps, and also one from her latest release.

Thanks for stopping by and having a read! Hope you all have an awesome week! xx

Supplies: Digital journal cards from my online store {themakingtable.bigcartel.com) and One Little Bird, Stamps from Kellie Stamps, Becky Higgins 6x8 album in light blue, and 6x8 Becky Higgins page protectors.
